It seems that the rebel offensive tonight isn't only covering al-Mallah Farms, as Jahbat al-Nusra have just released a statement claiming they've regained control of several points in the neighborhood of Beni Zeid district which is inside the city of Aleppo.

Russia's defense ministry says IS has shot down a Mi-25 attack helicopter in Syria, killing two Russian pilots and had said the chopper downing occurred on July 8. The Mi-25 was training when the Syrian army, fighting IS near Palmyra, had called in air support. The two pilots Ryafagat Khabibullin & Evgeny Dolgin were awarded posthumously.
